It's the (semi) knitted coasters....

Project Fifteen is so cheap and easy, you won't believe it...use it to fill your time when you're waiting at the Doctor's office, the DMV or on the phone with technical support. Trust me.

Here's what you'll need to complete this project:

  • Yarn (we used 100% cotton- light colors work best)
  • Plastic circle forms
  • Scissors
  • Needle (we used the Sacks needle from a homecraft needle assortment)

Start by threading your yarn through your needle.




Feed yarn through the middle of your circular form.




On the back side of your circle, knot your yarn.



Follow the form (in a circle), pulling your yarn in and out of the plastic.




Soon you'll have it nearly complete.
Continue to fill in your circle, and then loop around the outside edge to finish.




We wrapped ours with simple gold ribbon....
...and here's what we spent:
  • Yarn (Hobby Lobby, 153 yds./$1.50- half price) - $.15
  • Plastic forms (Hobby Lobby, 10/$1.59) - $.64
  • Needle (Walmart, 1 in set of 7 for $1.96) - $.28

Total cost of a set of four coasters: $1.07

Yes, we're amazed as well but we have to warn you, this is mind-numbing work.

Attempt at your own risk!
